"Eileen Pollock writes with great acuity, humor, and intelligent resign-ation about the various ways family love is called upon and revealed. This book is terrific company." — Lorrie Moore

"These are funny, rueful, wise stories, steeped in absurdity, pain, possibility — the work of a writer who has lived." — Gish Jen
